Anyone give me some feedback on this wing please.good if you have any comparisons to other light wind wings you have used too? All my wings are Ozone..they seem to work well for me so not looking at other brands. I'm about 95kg and want it for light wind days to use with a DW/light wind board I have. Something to cover 10 to 15 kts. Cheers.
I've used it for most of two seasons and I really like it (I've tried North Mode 7 and first and third gen Strike CWCs, and this is by far the most fun). Not incredibly grunty, but pumps well to get on foil (I'm 76 kg and using it with a 6'6" 100 liter 21"-wide board and Code 1130 and 1540 foils) -- I am (at best) of average skill and have fun whenever there are 9-10 knot gusts to get on foil -- keeps me up till it drops below 7 knots or so. Balanced and light in the hands when riding, and doesn't feel heavy keeping it in the air on lightwind jibes. Big bonus is that it stays comfortable up to gusts near 20, so it's really useful for variable winds. If anything happened to mine, I'd buy another one.

Thanks for very useful feedback. I might need to opt for the 7.7m at my weight but the size of a 7.7m isn't something that appeals me to me I must admit
yeah, i have an older 8m North Mode and it just isn't much fun to use. I'd rather work to get on foil with a 6m than deal with a bigger wing like that. I'm a bit lighter than you at 90 kgs, and will not buy another wing over 6m.

Which has been the most grunty on getting on foil out of the others? If the Liteforce is good to pump then I might get away with the smaller one? Something to cover wings don't flex at all and it is difficult to pump them.
I tried a friends Liteforce 6.6 this summer, being 94 kg and coming from an Flux V1 5.7 as my biggest wing i was at home immediately. The Liteforce felt like a bigger Flux, not especially grunty but with a some flex to pump it.. I tested it side by side to another friends 2025 GA Poison 6.2 which felt a little more grunty but also more heavy and much more physical in the gusts whereas the Liteforce had this slippery Ozone feel to it.
